How do some artists get so many stars? How do I earn more koins? You asked for the inside scope. Well, here it is! Tips and tricks to make you a Kerpoof Power User!

Hint:
Super Doodle lets you use keys on your keyboard. Try these shortcuts to make super doodles!
Tip - Use the grab tool to pick up a doodle. The grab tool looks like a hand.

  • DELETE = Deletes a doodle.
  • R = Rotate a doodle.
  • S = Scales! Makes your doodle bigger.
  • SHIFT-S = Makes your doodle smaller.
  • F = Flips a doodle.
  • HOME = Moves a doodle behind all doodles.
  • PAGE UP = Moves a doodle behind one doodle at a time.
  • END = Moves a doodle in front of all doodles.
  • PAGE DOWN = Moves a doodle in front of one doodle at a time.
  • <-- --> = Arrow keys move a doodle around the picture.

Trick - Try using the SHIFT key. What happens when you hold down the SHIFT key and select a color?

Trick - Try using the CTRL key. What happens when you hold down the CTRL key and use the fill tool?

Hint:
Kerpoof's Picture Maker and Movie Maker have shortcuts. For example:

  • DEL = Deletes an object
  • SHIFT = Holding the SHIFT key while dragging an object moves it up and down. It even moves below ground!
  • CTRL = Holding the CTRL key while dragging an object makes a copy of it.

Hint:

  • Create Art: You earn Koins when you create art! After you finish, click "Done", and you will get Koins. The better the scene, the more Koins!
  • Share Art: Share your art to get stars. Every time you get stars you get Koins. The best art can earn hundreds or even thousands of Koins!

Tip - Your friends can vote for your creations too! Just have them search for your nickname. And then give your art stars!

Tip - Having trouble making a really awesome art? Don't worry. Over time you will get better. The most important thing is to have fun!

Hint:
Kerpoof rewards you for trying new things. This can be all sorts of things. For example:

  • If you draw a good circle in Super Doodle - you get Koins.
  • If you make the Sun set in the Picture Maker - you get Koins.
  • If you move an object below ground - you get Koins.

So just play around. You will be surprised how many ways you can earn Koins.

Hint:
Kerpoof has some cheat codes. By typing secret words at the right time, special things happen. For example:

  • When you Make a Picture, pick the beach scene. Then drag in a character. Now click on their speech bubble and type, "Where is the tugboat?" Ta Da! The secret tugboat appears! Act quickly and drag it into your scene.
